Title: Biological system for degrading nitroaromatics in water and soils
Inventor: CRAWFORD DONALD L
IPC: C07C205/23
Filed: 1991-04-09
Abstract: Novel methods for biodegrading nitroaromatic compounds present as contaminants in soil or water using microorganisms are disclosed. Water is treatable directly; dry soil is first converted into a fluid medium by addition of water. The preferred method comprises two stages, each employing microorganisms: a fermentative stage, followed by an anaerobic stage. The fermentative stage is rapid, wherein an inoculum of aerobic and/or facultative microorganisms ferments a carbohydrate added to the fluid medium, exhausting the oxygen in the fluid medium and thereby inhibiting oxidative polymerization of amino by-products of the nitroaromatics. In the subsequent anaerobic stage, an inoculum of a mixed population of anaerobic microorganisms completes the mineralization of the contaminant nitroaromatics, using the remaining carbohydrate as a carbon and energy source. Preferably, the carbohydrate is a starch and the aerobic and/or facultative microorganisms are amylolytic, which cleave the starch at a moderate rate throughout both stages, ensuring a sustained supply of metabolizable carbohydrate. The microorganisms are preferably selected to be resistant to the types and concentrations of nitroaromatics present as contaminants.

Abstract: A collective wiring system for an automobile provides a central control unit (CCU) which communicates with a plurality of terminal control units (LCU) each connected to one or more input or output devices (93, 94, 95, 96), such as switches, sensors, motors and the like. The control over output devices in response to the status of input devices is performed by the central control unit (CCU) on the basis of tables of data stored in memory (102, 103). A scan table (SCNTBL) controls the order in which data communications are made to the terminal control units (LCU) to obtain their status and provide them with control commands. A monitor table (STATTBL) stores the current status of the terminal control units (LCU) and a control table (CNTLTB) stores the control data for the terminal control units (LCU). A connection table (CCTBL) stores the relationship between the terminal control unit (LCU) for an input device and the terminal control unit (LCU) for the output device to be controlled thereby. Thus, connection control between input and output devices is effected by software.

IPC: B65D83/40

Abstract: The device serves for spraying and atomising a liquid which is located in a container (1) which can be emptied by means of air pressure. If, in such a device, a liquid nozzle protrudes into a mixing nozzle arranged coaxially in front of it so that an annular space for air which is present around the liquid nozzle is open to the mixing nozzle at the front, the feed paths for liquid and for air must not be confused. Confusion occurs if a container is placed on its head during spraying. In order to avoid this disadvantage, two annular spaces (18, 19) are present from which channels (22-25) lead to a mixing nozzle (27). The two annular spaces communicate with one another via restrictor slots (20). Thanks to the two annular spaces (18, 19), the liquid can even be sprayed if the container is upside down.

Abstract: An apparatus for degassing liquids in heating or cooling installations. The apparatus has a closed pressure vessel (4) which can be intermittently put in communication with conduits of a liquid circuit (3) via conduits (1, 2) with valves (15, 20) such that at least some of the liquid flow flows through the pressure vessel (4). A compensating vessel (6) in communication with the atmosphere is provided, which can be intermittently put in communication with the closed pressure vessel (4) via a controllable valve (5). Furthermore, the apparatus has a force pump (12) to convey pressureless liquid into the liquid circuit (3). A control unit (23) for controlling the valves (15, 20) and the force pump (12) is provided, degassing taking place at intervals in that the valves (15, 20) are closed between the pressure vessel (4) and the liquid-circuit system (3) and the valve (5) is closed between the pressure vessel and the compensating vessel (6). After the degassing operation, a pressure drop in the liquid-circuit system (3) is compensated by the force pump (12). The control unit (23) determines the duration of the intervals between the degassing operations as a function of pressure loss in the liquid-circuit system (3) during the degassing operations.

Abstract: Described herein is an  in vitro  alternative method to replace or augment the Draize rabbit skin irritation test for human skin irritation prediction. This  in vitro  model consists of a three-dimensional human skin co-culture (HuK/F) of keratinocytes and fibroblasts seeded onto medical grade nylon mesh. A battery of assays predictive of skin irritation using cytotoxicity and pro-inflammatory endpoints are used. These assays are used to evaluate compositions which come into contact with the skin, particularly anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants, across an array of irritancy potential. For prostaglandin generation and cell viability endpoints, the  in vitro  co-culture system endpoints correlated well with human skin patch irritation data.

Abstract: A soft tip guiding catheter (10) for atraumatic insertion into delicate, tortuous coronary vessels and introduction of an angioplasty balloon catheter therethrough. The guiding catheter includes a main tubular portion (11) and a soft tubular tip (12) with respective, matching external and internal tapers (13,14) for increasing the contact area of the thermal bond. The outer and inner diameters of the main portion are uniform and match the respective outer and inner diameters of the soft tip for providing a uniform outer catheter surface and a continuous, uniform catheter passageway surface. The tapers further provide for a gradual change in durometer between the main portion and soft tip. The main portion preferably includes an inner layer of lubricous material (19), an outer layer (27) of a polyether block amide, and a reinforcing braid positioned therebetween (26). The layers of the main portion provide a thin catheter wall with pushability, torquability, and kink resistance. The composite durometer of the main portion is harder than the durometer of the soft tip, which comprises a combination of polyether block amide material and tungsten for increasing the radiopacity thereof.

Abstract: An optical inspection probe (10), used on a coordinate measuring machine, includes a sensing module having a CCD array (18) and an imaging module (16) releasably mountable thereon. The position of a feature on the surface is measured using the probe by calculating the instant of time at which an image of the feature will pass across a predesignated pixel Q c  of the array (18). The calculation is performed on the basis of the relative velocity of the probe and the surface as determined from two consecutively scanned image frames of the CCD array (18). The probe (10) may be used to determine, for example, the position of an edge of a surface by moving the probe laterally with respect to the surface or, may be used to measure the position of a predetermined height of a surface by projecting a light beam (122) onto the surface at an angle to the optical axis (A) and measuring the position of the resulting spot on the surface.
